Intergenerational lessons for the Occupy movement

On June 3, 2011, a young activist walked into the House of Commons during the first throne speech of Stephen Harper's majority government and showed a sign with a simple message. All it read was, "Stop Harper!" but her action articulated what a growing number of Canadians are feeling with increasing certainty -- that our country is heading in the wrong direction. For Canadians concerned about growing inequality, the erosion of democracy and social services, the rising corporate profits during a time of increased poverty, and catastrophic climate change, her action gave voice to those concerns.
